The numbers refer to the detail numbers on the GunBroker website.    I saw these at a gunshow, so no photos.    Also, I failed to note some details.     I apologize that I did not have my notes with me about some of the details to look for  ( the numbers with a “-” )    

      1)    409244

      2)    rifle

      3)    octagon barrel,  24″

      4)    crescent

      5)    takedown

      6)    25-20 WCF

      7)    ( didn’t note type of marking, but all were on top of barrel )

      8)    type 2

      9)  and 10)    –

     12)    inline, with barrel proof directly in front of caliber mark

     13)    full length mag.     Overall, appeared to be unmodified good shooter grade.

Interesting one for Michael :

      1)    925848

      2)    SRC

      3)    (see 13)

      4)    carbine

      6)    25-20 WIN

      7)    –

      8)    type 5

      9)    –

     10)    (see 13)

     12)    standard WP proofs on top of receiver and barrel, plus additional  “circle”P  in front of barrel WP.

     13)    I assume this was a replacement barrel.     It had a ramp type front sight and the barrel markings were on the

                 left side, exactly like those in the photo on page 396 of Madis’ book (1979 ed.). except the different caliber

                marking.     I would like to have seen the under-barrel marks.

             I can’t be positive, but I think it had a front barrel band, even on this smaller caliber carbine.     Unfortunately,

                I didn’t think about the difference between large and small caliber carbines until I was home (2 hour drive).

             It seemed to have a different kind of look to it, too.     It was very dark (black ?) and appeared to be some kind

                of coating (like powder-coating) rather than bluing, which appears more like stain into the metal.     Purists

                probably wouldn’t care for it, but most people would be happy with it as a “wall hanger” for a cabin or lodge.

               A shiny old-style Winchester carbine they could take out and shoot occasionally.

Hello Mustang,

Thanks so much for the effort and help.  These surveys wouldn’t be nearly as good without the help from others.  I can’t be everywhere!!  The carbine was sold out of RIA back in Feb of 2015 and had the ramp style front sighted barrel then.  Thanks for the information on the oval/P proof on it.  Yes, it would be nice to have seen the under barrel stamps and date info but most sellers are leery of us wanting to take their rifles apart at a show!  Laugh

Thanks again

Michael
